She Wolf

  She WolfBitch of the steppesSniffed the air.Weaned cubsAt the cusp of emergenceFrolicked oblivious at her feet. The air carried the scent of lust,She growled low in her throatUnable to defer the moistening of her loins.He smelled her unbidden desireResponding with ever tightening circlesFilling her territory with his scentMarking with cocked leg his assumed right. She was tired and pad sore butShe let him approachShe watched him cuff the cubs in playful dismissal,They slunk away.She nipped as he drew nearerHe circled againSoft muzzle touching fur. Intemperate carnalityFrom depths she didn’t understandEngulfed her.She stood while he mountedHis urgency fuelling a short moment of rapture.Seeding her,He left.The cubs rejoined their motherLooking on as the male departedAs the one who had fathered them had done.Gone and she was left alone, licking herselfTo balance the smells.She flicked her tailSending redolence scentTo the next passing male.Primordial needs met.

Wierd I had submitted this but it never came up

Thank you Lyz this is the first time in my life I have ever got A+ at anything....wheeee I think if you re read the poem and look with different eyes at the single mother with kids , still accepting a moment of bliss not knowing why, not knowing she has a choice through ignorance and no self empowerment...you will see instead that actually these rules apply to many in our human packs. Sorry if I have just spolied a perfect illusion for you. Hugs to you Liz

Dear Seabhac:

This poem reminds me of another poem written here at this site, and it's called "The Power of the Pack". They certainly have a power of their own, laws of their own, and a sense of instinctual future. Your writing is superb in every way. Thank you! Sincerely, Hugo

Thanks Hugo

We like to think at times we have superior intellect to our animal co habitués By virtue of assuming they have no soul. Where (or were ha ha) does empathy draw the line with understanding? I will look out the power of the pack thanks for the suggestion Questioning as I so often do Liz

I now wonder, with this

I now wonder, with this brilliant write, if you aren't a shewolf in the moonlight. Maybe we all are. I know I've done some howling and prowling in my days. Wait, I still am! Hugs, ~Anna

I was a hypnotised marmott

This is wild nature courtship at its best....I really loved this read. Two dangerous animals coming together just as nature had planned. Loved the circling, kind of like two coins in one of those spiral things ever drawing nearer till they meet. You captured wild personality.. Very good read Thankyou regards Stuart

Thanks Stuart

I love marmotts, just not the flea ridden mongolian kind ,now that is a dangerous animal! I enjoyed this and feel a great empathy to wolves especially love the myth and tales surrounding them. Thanks for the feedback, interesting about the spirals...hmmm sends me off on a different train of thought. Liz
